Arman Tsarukyan to face Tony Ferguson at RAF 10 in St. Louis

Arman Tsarukyan, a Russian UFC fighter of Armenian descent, will face former UFC star Tony Ferguson at the RAF 10 tournament, scheduled for June 13 in St. Louis.

Before that, Tsarukyan has another appearance lined up in the RAF freestyle wrestling league: on May 30, he will step onto the mat at RAF 09 where he will face Keylon Jamison.

This will extend Arman’s impressive run in the organization, with the bout against Ferguson marking his sixth consecutive appearance at RAF events. Tsarukyan will have competed in every tournament held by the promotion in 2026.

Tony Ferguson last appeared in the UFC in 2024, when he lost to Michael Chiesa. After leaving the octagon, “El Cucuy” took part in two boxing matches, winning both.

Now, the former interim UFC lightweight champion will test himself in freestyle wrestling against one of the top lightweights of his generation. The Tsarukyan vs. Ferguson matchup is expected to be one of the standout events of RAF 10.
